In the spirit of Swing Projects Anna Blessmann and Peter Saville’s contribution is intended to be practical, collaborative and performative.
In anticipation of the environment they have chosen to use sun-umbrellas as our medium. A number of parasols will be brought to Stromboli to use as the canvas for works made during their stay in response to the location, its light and colour. Then, when used by fellow participants and visitors these sun-umbrellas will add a new choreography of shape and colour to the landscape.
